Despite the dam's low hazard potential, it has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in December 2002. The reservoir covers a surface area of 6.77 acres and has a normal storage capacity of 47.76 acre-feet. It is not regulated by the state and does not have any associated structures or federal agency involvement. With no risk assessment or emergency action plan in place, the condition and management of Bandy Reservoir remain unknown.
Located in a picturesque setting within the Kansas City District, Bandy Reservoir provides a haven for wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts in the area. While the dam may not pose a significant risk, there is a need for further assessment and planning to ensure the safety and sustainability of this water resource in the face of potential climate challenges.
